    That's a sweet insider tip! I'll definitely do that with my next couple bottles. Maybe they should consider putting that at the packaging if they haven't already?

    I should have mentioned it to the brewer on NYE but completely forgot (there were beverages involved...)

    Left Hand does some great marketing around it. http://pourhard.com

    I dunno man, I could barely get the head to go away enough to drink it when I poured it. Not a huge head, but very dense and sticks around.

    I took it out of the fridge let warm a little poured it with bottle straight up and down and still minimal nitro... maybe some bottles not carbonated enouph.. never had this problem with left hand nitro bottles...

    Same here. I bought another bottle after mispouring my first. This time, poured vertical like you're supposed to and, while it was definitely better than my first bottle, there was nearly no cascade effect and nearly no head, just a bunch of large bubbles on the surface. My guess is they just haven't dialed in the nitro bottle secret as well as Left Hand. Tastes good, just needs more bubbles

    Some bottles are probably more "nitro'd" than others.

    How are you guys, especially the Asheville crew not talking about Appalachian Walker?

    Is Appalachian Walker also in 4-packs or in large format bottles?

    Appalachian walker is awesome! I just popped one last night. It is right up there with Omega Point for me.

    So where is this hitting so far? Have not seen hide not hair of it yet around the Triangle. Wonder if we'll get it eventually?

    I believe it has only hit in Asheville and Hickory so far. I could be wrong, but so far I believe its only been available at Appalachian Vintner and Olde Hickory Station. An employee from the Station said they only had 4 cases to start with, and only 10 were made all together. Again, I could be wrong, but thats what I was told.

    Hickory is sold out. Appalachian Vintner still had some as of 15 mins ago.

    Edit: guy at the Station confirmed 25 cases. Hickory got 5.

    Label on bottle says "pour with vigor for a proper head". On the 4 pack holder is a pic of a bottle upside down pouring into a glass and says "pour with vigor"

    Wait, wait, wait. You expect people that have been drinking to read? WTF?
